An unlucky Boeing Dreamliner is finally on its way to its new owners after the first delivery attempt went tragically awry. In July of this year, the 787-10 was on the ground at Charleston Air Force Base-International Airport (CHS) and it collided with a smaller jet that was waiting to refuel. The Breeze Airways Airbus A220-300 was the victim of the larger Dreamliner when its wingtip cut through the Airbus’ tail. Just two months later, the 787 is factory-fresh again and on its way to All Nippon Airways (ANA), as Flightradar 24 spotters have been tracking. ANA’s Newest Dreamliner Shutterstock…

When it comes to modern long-haul aviation, the Airbus A350 stands out as one of the most advanced and efficient widebody aircraft ever built. Launched into service in 2015, the A350 was developed to meet growing airline demand for a fuel-efficient, long-range aircraft capable of connecting virtually any two cities on the planet. With its sleek design, carbon-fiber-reinforced fuselage, and state-of-the-art aerodynamics, the A350 represents a major step forward in both performance and passenger experience. The success of the Airbus A350 has raised significant concerns for Boeing, particularly as it challenges the American manufacturer’s dominance in the widebody market. Designed…

The Boeing 747-8I’s large vertical stabilizer, or tail, is a striking part of the aircraft’s stretched silhouette. The fuselage extends the plane to 250 feet, making it the longest passenger aircraft Boeing has produced. The increased length of the already giant plane creates a greater opportunity for forces to induce yaw, which pushes it side to side. The huge tail was required for more directional control authority from the vertical stabilizer, or “stab,” to maintain stability. Elsewhere in the jet, Boeing did its best to preserve common hardware wherever physics allowed, and enlarging the vertical stabilizer was one of the…
